Abstract
AbstractConstraining the depositional age of Neoproterozoic stratigraphy in the North American Cordilleran margin informs global connections of major climatic and tectonic events in deep time. Making these correlations is challenging due to a paucity of existing geochronological data and adequate material for absolute age control in key stratigraphic sequences. The late Ediacaran Browns Hole Formation in the Brigham Group of northern Utah, USA, provides a key chronological benchmark on Neoproterozoic stratigraphy. This unit locally comprises
